Where to stay?

When it comes to hotels, Tel Aviv offers a striking array of choices...

Beach-side bastions of opulence are common near the golden sands of the sunny coastline and you could easily check in to enjoy a typically Mediterranean holiday. The sights are within easy reach of the beaches, so don't be concerned that you'll be shut off from the attractions. Further from the shore, and still in the luxury hotels bracket, you'll find grand old historic buildings housing four- and five-star hotels.

Budget hotels are scarce in Tel Aviv, which does have an expensive accommodation scene. Rooms considered cheap will be in hostels and small, independent hotels, though if you're willing to forgo items such as breakfast, you might be able to find a deal at a better grade of hotel.

Hotel chains can be found across the city with properties from companies such as Isrotel, Intercontinental, Park Plaza, Renaissance, Hilton, Crowne Plaza, Mercure and Sheraton.

Figuring out where to stay in cosmopolitan Tel Aviv is relatively easy. The city really developed from the south and went northwards, so for a more modern holiday base, pick a hotel at the beach or in the northern leafy and affluent neighbourhoods on the north side of the River Yarkon.

The city centre contains attractions, shops, restaurants, and plenty for tourists, while the southern part of Tel Aviv is much older, in some parts a little tatty, but extremely charming. The Old City of Jaffa, or Yafo, is an ancient port area and worth spending some time in, even if you don't book a hotel amid the hustle and bustle.
